Message: [QUOTE="pentazepam, post: 6776256, member: 46058"] 1. Raise less pre-flop when the stacks are 30BB. Usually, 2-2.1x is enough to attack the blinds. It is also easier to defend with a call if the villain 3-bets. Now you have to defend for a much bigger part of your stack but against the right player, a call is probably still correct. 2. I think most players check with QQ, JJ on that flop which makes him much more polarized so he either has you beat (AA, KK, TT, AK). KK and TT should probably check sometimes on a rainbow board also. He semi-bluffs often with QJs and AQ and maybe some random light 3-bet hands IF he is LAG. You wrote that he is loose but is he also aggressive? If he is passive his range is much stronger than "normal" in this spot both when he 3-bets and when he bets the flop. 3. When you push he folds all his bluffs and calls with all his hands that beat you (except maybe QQ, JJ as you wrote). I think the better play is to just call and if you get a club, ten, nine maybe a queen on the turn you can continue to call (or shove). But the queen hits his range pretty good too. The problem starts with raising so big with a short stack, so you face a bigger 3-bet and a bigger bet on the flop than if you just have mini-raised it. There's nothing wrong with bluffing at the late stages against people who can fold even with a short stack, but most medium-strength hands are usually a check or a call. And finally, you said you had a read on him but his 3-bet from the BB against your 3x 30BB deep is usually a very strong hand. Just because he is loose and calls with a wide range doesn't mean he 3-bets OOP with garbage. Most players just call most hands from the BB this short. [/QUOTE]
